Poles Apart: My Story From Behind and Beyond the Lens

by Doug Allan OBE

Doug Allan OBE was one of the most respected wildlife cameramen in the world, known for capturing the wildest, most remote places on Earth. His breathtaking cinematography earned him numerous accolades, including eight Emmy Awards and four BAFTAs. Doug’s ability to capture nature’s most intimate moments, whether the struggle of a polar bear hunting for food in the Arctic or the majesty of whales in Antarctica, made him a key figure in wildlife filmmaking and a trusted cameraman for some of the most groundbreaking wildlife documentaries of our time.

This story goes beyond the lens, diving into Doug’s personal journey, the challenges of wildlife filmmaking, and his lifelong dedication to conservation. It is a narrative of passion, perseverance, and the remarkable experiences of a man who devoted his life to documenting the beauty and fragility of the Earth’s wildest places. Doug Allan’s autobiography is a must read for anyone inspired by the wonders of the natural world.

Reviews of Poles Apart: My Story From Behind and Beyond the Lens

'Doug Allan seems to be immune to most of the limitations that govern other humans. Furthermore, he is totally without fear in a way that comes not from recklessness but from deep knowledge and experience.' – Sir David Attenborough
